Christian Burnout and Patience in Suffering in James 5:7-8

We examine James' exhortation to patience in the face of oppression and supplement it with similar exhortations in II Peter, the message to the Ephesians in Revelation 2, and the in the letter to the Hebrews. We explore how the discipline of suffering brings us to the adulthood of Christianity and read several excerpts on suffering from the Diary of Saint Faustina.

Judgment of the Merciful and Merciless, Suffering and Holiness in James 5:8-13

In tonight's study, we revisit the important role of suffering in bringing us to holiness, explore the signs of breakdown in Christian communities growing weary under suffering, and examine the difference between the way the merciful and the merciless are judged.

Forgiveness, Healing, Prayer as Doers of the Word in James 5:14-20
